PRECIOUS PRINTS

Of my life's gathered treasures, one of the dearest are a set of handprints of my children from when they were young. Matted and framed, always graced upon a wall, there for me to reflect and remember a moment. A time when the clock could never be turned back, captured forever. Happy memories. From a Fall craft, author unknown, simple painted handprints. Copy this poem, and make a set of prints of your own to cherish. And love forever.

This is what you will need-

I had this poem printed on card stock paper from a local printer. It measures 11” x 14”.

You can use any water based paint you like for the handprints. Nice to use paint from existing walls to coordinate with the decor or select a color you love. I used sample pots of paint from Serena and Lily. You can purchase them here…Link
